    Why is your PC connected straight to the internet and not on the LAN side of the router?

    actually the network is managed by headquarter IT colleague , the PC connected straight to the internet as the network subnet is assigned by headquarter and it is more stable than connected to my router , this is suggested by them , please ignore this issue.

    The PC is NOT connected straight to the internet. Your IP addresses (all beginning with 10.) prove the point.
    A 10. address cannot exist on the internet. Instead, 10. addresses belong to a local LAN. This is as it should be.

    You say that the printer has a dynamic address: 192.168.1.110
    But a printer should have a static address. You don't want it to change! Not ever!
    Get your colleague to set that up properly.

    You are going to have to remove the router and connect the printer to the same network as the pc. You may be able to disable the routing function of the router so that it acts simply as a switch - or replace the router with a switch. Then your headquarter IT will have to assign an IP address to it matching the subnet of your network.
